For in-stance, he describes making self-feeding hoppers; butfor the life of me I can not understand it so as to makeone myself without some sort of picture to make itplain. There is one cheap picture of a poultry-house,and two diagrams. Thase are the only helpful illus-trations I find in the book. As I understand it thebook is sent you for $, and you can pay the other$ when you are satisfied it contains matter ofenough value, different from any other in print, tomake it worth S5 00. It is true the book is somethingof a departure from poultry-books in general, and itsteachings are sound and reasonable so far as I canjudge. ^
